#OOTD, Channeling Kim Kardashian at The MET Gala

I purchased this blazer almost two years ago from the Loft website. It was final sale, non-returnable, but it was $12 so I thought what the hell. Today is the first time I’m wearing it in public, as I previously feared it looked too much like what a then-pregnant Kim Kardashian wore at The Met Gala. I was trying to balance the flower pattern of the blazer with an all-black base and some tough-looking jewelry. I was a little nervous walking into the office, but got quite a few compliments, so this blazer will be in regular rotation.

I am a budget conscious shopper but not afraid to throw down on a few key investment pieces. I used to love shopping at the mall but with three children and most brands generous online return policies, I much prefer shopping from my couch. With a glass of wine.
For work, I tend to look for classic pieces with interesting details – I’ve never met an exposed zipper I didn’t like. For the weekends, I look for easy pieces that allow me to move and chase after three crazy kids.
I believe that jewelry can totally change an outfit. I do not own or want an iron. I am still searching for the perfect handbag.
